Looking for a onetrick champ...

DJ IceFyr·3/28/2017, 4:13:11 PM·1 votes·721 views

So I should start by saying straight out: I'm not great at this game. At this point, I'm not even that good. So I've been thinking and I want to find a one trick champ that I can spam and learn to get better with.

As a top main, I've had decent success with Irelia, but I don't feel confident in my lategame plays on her at all. I've tried Pantheon, and he might be a viable option. Gangplank has also caught my eye as of late.

So I want to ask, does anyone have any opinions when it comes to a good champ to one trick? Am I setting my sights too high with champion difficulty? Any feedback is appreciated.

Pantheon is a solid choice for the roam potential after you win lane (which you should b/c he's a strong lane bully) so you can help snowball your other lanes, nasus also wouldn't be a bad choice b/c you have a much better lategame than panth and can build tanky without losing much damage but he has more tough matchups than panth, another similar to panth that has strong early/midgame is renekton.

I'd say Darius is a good top laner to one trick for he is one of the few juggernauts that can still be relevant in teamfights. He is relatively simple to manage with, can make errors, and be a lane bully

GP barrels are pretty ridiculous once you get used to using them. One success wins a teamfight pretty much hands down, and if it doesn't, it probably wasn't a winnable fight to begin with.

On top of that, it works on charges so you get multiple back to back chances to hit it. Plus he's got a built in cleanse just in case. And people swear he's balanced too :D

i would start by playing a bunch of champs.. find with ones your like and have an affinity for.

i main Nidalee since day 1 in patch 3.6 she has always been my main, and always will be. she may not always be my highest winrate champ.. or the champ i play most in ranked due to meta shifts (or getting gutted). but even with a 45?% win rate.. in my elo (hey its not 42% anymore! YAY!!!). i can still carry game on her quite easily if my opponent don't get fed off mindless teammates

also consider the role u want.

are you really good at CSing? then top mid or ADC would be good...

if dont like CSing and would rather just focus on objectives and targeting the enemy champions with your skills then consider playing support. but if u still want to BE the one to kill the enemies but dont like to CS try out jungle.

my main champs are Nidalee (main: jungle, primary role) Morgana (main support, secondary role)

however i also play Lux and Blitzcrank as support

and i used to also play Khazix and RekSai in the jungle.

my previous mid laners also included Ziggs who i also really love playing. (but due to the fact i have been jungle/support i have gotten really rusty in my ability to CS.

other champs i play include Orianna and Syndra two very high skill cap champions. (although since last year syndra has been regarded a "slightly less" that "high skill)

there are remains other champs i rally LIKE but frankly cant play...

Ahri i absolutely love... but i really cant play her... it saddens me that i can't as i love her art her lore and her abilties and concepts... but.. im frankly just bad at her..

Ekko i also find really fun... but similar to ahri.. i cant play him really wish i could... but such is life...

saddest of all is Kindred a champ i am EXTREMELY disappointed i cant play.. but as she is "half marksman" and ADC is the one role i cant play to save my life. no matter how hard i try and how much i would kill to be able to play her... i just cant do it.

Katarina i also liked due to her "kitty cat" skin, however i now despise seeing her not only becuase i cant play her... but because is is annoying a freaking play against as she is 100% impossible to land any skillshot on (at least if the kat know how to play properly) ever since shunpo was given a reset from her rework when picking up daggers.

so find a champions you like... and then find which ones u have an affinity for playing well.

overall i seem to prefer long range casters with skillshots, and/or gap closers.

Honestly, I'd say one trick the champion you like the most. It doesn't matter too much if the champion is really good or rather bad. If you like a champion enough to play that particular champion all the time, you will learn to master him/her and win matchups against the most popular and strongest champions, just by perfectly knowing the strengths of your champion.

Chogath is surprisingly a very powerful one-trick champion. Especially after the recent changes to his kit, if you play him top and know how to play conservatively early game and be opportunistic with your cc and feast, you become a late game monster. Just realize that your early game is pretty bad and you will lose lane to most aggressive match-ups if you try to fight them head on until you get some HP and AP under your belt. I've seen him played both ways, but I find the best builds with him are a hybrid of defense and AP.

What separates the good Cho players from the great Cho players is the ability to predict enemy movements in order to land rupture. Landing rupture on a carry and combining it with silence, an auto, and feast pretty much spells death for almost everyone.

As far as keystone masteries go, thunderlords works really well but so does stormraider's fury against more mobile compositions. You should be able to proc thunderlords before needing to use feast, however, I have found that if you end up proccing thunderlords with feast, you still get the stack, even if thunderlords ends up killing them, so it works out really well. Just realize that because it takes more time to get stacks now, you need to know when to use Feast. Feast on dragon or herald/baron, yes. Dragon, Herald, and Baron do not count in your 6-stack limit and therefore are beneficial to feast on. Feast only to kill champions, otherwise you don't get stacks for it. Most people will only feast on minions if they have 80 or so seconds before they need to worry about a team engage.
